❤️ Dot to Dot

There are some parallels between the acts of completing a dot-to-dot drawing, following a pre-defined diagram, and living a conventional life outlined by societal or cultural expectations. 

In a dot-to-dot drawing or when following a diagram, there's a set trajectory. The outcome is pre-determined; all you need to do is follow the given steps to connect the dots or match the diagram. It is a form of structure and guidance which can sometimes lead to a predictable or even an exquisite creation.

Living a conventional life often bears similar hallmarks. Society sets some 'dots' or conventional milestones for us, such as going to school, getting a job, getting married, having children, and then retiring. It provides a safety net of guidelines and societal understandings, fostering a sense of belonging and normalcy.

However, the notion of creativity, individuality, and autonomy can face restrictions in both scenarios. Just as a dot-to-dot drawing leaves little room for one to exercise creativity beyond those dots, living a conventional life may limit a person's ability to explore unique paths or express individuality, particularly when these expressions conflict with societal norms.

Yet, it's essential to remember that life, unlike a dot-to-dot drawing, isn't rigid. One has the freedom to create their own 'dots', to define their unique path, and live their authentically unconventional life. It leverages the unpredictability and chaos of life to create something truly unique and personal.  

Ultimately, the choice of whether to follow the dots or create our path reflects the tension between security and autonomy, conformity and creativity, predictability and uncertainty.

This is my Oral Storytelling Project. The Prompt was to present a storytelling video to the class. In my project I chose to create a light-hearted supernatural story about a transfer student with horns. The process I took to create this project mostly me trying to think of what to make as the story had to be long enough and had to have a solid conclusion. First I imagined the concept of the story. The idea of something supernatural at school like a folktale legend or curse. Then I thought of a way to tell it. I originally wanted to make an animatic of the story but I realized editing took too much time already so instead I put more effort into sound effects and making the audio do most of the storytelling. Then I drew a concept image for it to help provide a visual in the final product.

The Pixel Whisperer

Here's a story about a web designer:

Maya thrived in the digital realm. Not in the bustling online marketplaces or the glitzy social media worlds, but in the quietude of her home office, where lines of code danced across her screen, transforming into vibrant websites. She was a pixel whisperer, coaxing order from chaos, weaving intricate tapestries of information and aesthetics.

Her clients were a diverse bunch: a local bookstore dreaming of an online presence, a budding entrepreneur launching an e-commerce venture, a non-profit organization seeking to amplify its message. Each project was a unique challenge, a puzzle to be solved with a blend of creativity, technical expertise, and empathy.

Maya wasn't just a coder; she was a storyteller. She understood that a website wasn't just a collection of pages, but a digital narrative, a reflection of the client's brand and personality. She poured over brand guidelines, delved into the client's vision, and translated their aspirations into an engaging online experience.

But the digital world, like any other, had its shadows. There were the late nights fueled by caffeine and the gnawing pressure of deadlines. There were the clients who micromanaged every pixel, the ones who demanded the impossible. And there were the moments of self-doubt, the fear of obsolescence in a rapidly evolving field.

Yet, through it all, Maya persevered. She honed her skills, embraced new technologies, and built a strong network of fellow designers. She found joy in the iterative process, in the thrill of seeing a project come to life, in the satisfaction of exceeding client expectations.

One day, an email landed in her inbox. It was from a small, struggling animal shelter. They had a website, but it was outdated and ineffective. They needed someone to breathe new life into their online presence, to help them find loving homes for the animals in their care.

Maya felt a surge of purpose. This wasn't just another project; it was an opportunity to make a real difference. She poured her heart and soul into the redesign, creating a visually appealing and user-friendly website that showcased the shelter's work and made it easy for potential adopters to connect.

The response was overwhelming. The shelter's website traffic soared, adoption rates skyrocketed, and donations poured in. Maya had not only created a beautiful website; she had helped save lives.

Looking back, Maya realized that her work was more than just pixels and code. It was about using her skills to empower others, to tell meaningful stories, and to make a positive impact on the world. And that, she knew, was a legacy worth building.

If you'd like, tell me a little about what kind of web designer you'd like to read about, and I can try to tailor the story further!

Warsinsky, S., Schmidt-Kraepelin, M., Rank, S., Thiebes, S., and Sunyaev, A. (2021) 'Conceptual ambiguity surrounding gamification and serious games in health care: literature review and development of game-based intervention reporting guidelines (GAMING)', Journal of Medical Internet Research, 23(9), p. e30390.

This paper focuses on the difference between gamification and serious games in healthcare and the conceptual confusion in the current literature. Thus, the introduction of the set of GAMING guidelines in the framework of the research allows for clarifying the ambiguous notion of game-based interventions. For this reason, it is highly detailed and encyclopedic in its literature review and a valuable source of expert evaluations of different organizations which makes the book the most authoritative guide on the subject of accurate reporting. This study contributes to the current literature as a conceptual work, providing much-needed definition to help scholars in future examination of health-related game interventions as employed in fields like education and virtual areas through serious games and gamification.

Zaky, Y.A.M. and Al Mulhim, E.N. (2024) 'Teacher Education: Design Thinking Approach in Makerspaces to Produce Quality Educational Video Games with a Visual Identity and Improve Design Thinking Skills', Education Sciences, 14(7), p. 718.

This study aims at looking at design thinking as a process in developing video games for learning. This version is retained as it aims to encourage the formation of teamwork and conceptually ORIGINAL group pictures for pre-service teacher education while keeping the above-mentioned guidelines to an ISA graphic design. Its innovative approach is underpinned by the integration of maker spaces and the so-called design thinking elements (such as empathy and ideation). This is an interesting text since it combines art, education, and design thinking with important lessons to be learned about creativity. It also wants to ‘emphasize collaboration’ which directly intersects my goals of exploring game design and animation from an interdisciplinary perspective.

Wu, M., Lee, J.S., and Steinkuehler, C. (2021) 'Understanding tilt in esports: A study on young League of Legends players', in Proceedings of the 2021 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems. May, pp. 1-9.

This paper fills this gap by offering an analysis of the causes and effects of the phenomenon of ‘tilt’ in gaming coupled with a look at how it can be affected. The research findings also show that the tilted records originate mostly from teammates while the participants demonstrate predominantly negative self-directed responses. Incredibly, the research shows that those who assume that tilt can be modified have a higher likelihood of applying positive coping that enhances the emotional capital. This is a game psychology and esports sociology research aimed at helping to enhance game experiences and foster healthier gaming cultures. This study is particularly useful as it informs aspects of the competitiveness psychology in the context of gaming which is serially relevant when developing encouraging and friendly gaming communities. That is closely related to my research focus – the relationship between players and designed environments, including games and esports.

Li, Z. (2024) 'Virtuality and Reality: Research on VR Technology Film Production', Journal of Humanities, Arts and Social Science, 8(7).

This paper looks at how the invention of VR has cultured interactivity and some of the aspects of 360-degree cinematography into the conventional filming process.s. It raises how VR disrupts the cinematic conventions focusing on what the viewers see instead of presenting a story that only moves in a certain direction. This paper interlinks components from theatre, amusement parks, and video game design to provide a multi-faceted approach to enriching cinematic VR. The author also underscores specific scenes shot in long takes that even theatre actors can help enhance through improvised theatrical performances and audience interaction. This study offers practical solutions as to how to overcome certain issues like controlling multiple 360-degree cameras and integrating subplots within set designs for VR filmmakers. Its concept of narrative comes close to my desire to combine the uses of technology and the conventional technique of art to bring out the best narrative masterpieces.

This study presents the new approach of Sophia-in-Audition, a virtual production system utilizing humanoid robotic technology in enhanced UltraStage architecture. This setup makes use of a controllable light dome and multi-camera systems for improving performance capture dynamics. These are facial motion transfer and robotic motion replication to overcome problems such as the uncanny valley in virtual acting. The work suggests human-like affective responses as well as her capacity to accurately replicate scenes from famous films and engage with human actors, pointing to the possibility of future assignments of humanoid robots in film. Through combining robotics, dynamic lighting, and multi-camera solutions, this investigation advances the concept of virtual production. Its emphasis on tech and ensemble work resonates well with my topic, which is how new media technologies transform strategies of storytelling and stagings in film.

This research on reverse filming behavior and cinematic shot transfers through 3D engine workflow are presented in this work for the first time. The study refines meta tracks like SLAM and also uses algorithms such as Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) to control rendering and optimal the camera trajectories. This research enables the connection between the ‘how’ of technical integration and the ‘what’ of artistic implementation, making it easy to transfer shots from a 2D video to a 3D environment. The use of 3D operations shows that technology can enhance narratives, further, original visions can be achieved successfully. Through the elements of rendering and shot composition this study is particularly useful in virtual production. It leads to investigating how innovations in technology can result in the offering of potent tools by directors and owners of motion picture production to come up with engaging stories on screen, and at the same time, enable them to exercise exclusive control.

This research is focused on cooperation approaches applied to virtual production aided by immersive perspectives. This way, the study fosters the collectiveness of ideas in practical workshops with audiovisual professionals and develops creative solutions for filmmaking. The level of detail given to the forms and processes of interdisciplinary cooperation makes it a highly useful text for investigating the work of creative and technical positions. It is related to me because it informs me about the successes of combined creativity in the sphere of audiovisual, thanks to which I understand the value of cooperation in implementing large-scale virtual production.

Widjono, R.A. (2020, December) ‘Analysis of user experience in virtual art exhibition during pandemic’, in International Conference of Innovation in Media and Visual Design (IMDES 2020), pp. 93-99. Atlantis Press.

This paper examines virtual galleries as one of the shifted methods of presenting art pieces in the context of COVID-19. This paper discusses artists, exhibitors, and audiences to demonstrate that virtual exhibitions support the art world where physical constraints prevail. It goes into fan and professional reception and how a show can incorporate more mainstream appeal along with satisfying artistic interest. It also proves useful for the overall areas of art, education, and technology since it provides specific ideas about creating digital exhibitions. It aligns with my passion for using technology to enhance both accessibility and innovation in creative industries.

This paper aims to analyze the complete changes of Virtual Production Studios (VPS) in the current movie-making techniques. This thesis examines how new display technologies, such as LED walls, virtual reality, and game engines, lead to a qualitative change in production processes. Global perspectives of industrialization, partnerships, and globalization are also discussed in response to the ever-evolving relationship between tech and art. Thus, the paper through the presentation of two examples provides real-life case examples of how the VPS systems are redefining the methodology of shooting, image generation, and post-shooting exercise in the live-action filming industry. This work is invaluable to my interests as it turns light on industry, academic cooperation, and shared resources collaborations. It deepens my appreciation of best practices in Virtual Production Services by shedding light on concrete imaginative and unique/VPS within entertainment industries, which means changing the ways of creating a story and visuals in the future.

Remedios, D.J., Mathew, D., and Schleser, M. (2023) 'A Convergence of Theatre, Cinema, Amusement Park, and Video Game Design to Explore Parallel Interactive Narratives in Cinematic Virtual Reality', Interactive Film & Media Journal, 3(2).

This paper aims to explore the use of various approaches of storytelling from the theatre, cinema, amusement parks, and video games to create two similar but separate narratives within CVR. The authors elaborate on the issues and factors in fashioning such storytelling, noting that there is much more than script development, prequel and sequel design, selecting a cast and crew, sound schemes and design, and interaction with users. This underscores the aspect of directing user attention as a fundamental component of the first-person 360-degree immersion component of the CVR narrative. Based on the synthesis of the respective design branches, the article presents an understanding of the development of interactive media and a foundation for further research on the simultaneous presentation of multiple interactive stories in virtual reality.

Post-Punk, Reggae, and the Evolution of East London's Music Scene

Introduction

The British music scene has a vibrant history of embracing and transforming genres from different cultures, particularly black music. From the Beatles' admiration for American rock 'n' roll in the 1960s to the rise of reggae music, the British have taken these influences and added their own innovative touch. However, it was with the emergence of reggae in Britain that an exciting and transformative journey began. This journey eventually paved the way for genres like rave, jungle, garage, and dubstep.

Moreover, East London played a central role in shaping this musical landscape. This essay aims to uncover the deep connection that East London has with dub and reggae music, as well as the influential East London artists who emerged and played a significant part in transforming British music.

Early days of Reggae in East London.

Reggae has been a part of East London's music scene since the 1960s, and we owe a great debt to the generations before us who not only created this music but also embraced it, making it cool to listen to. As a personal example, my father was part of the first-wave of skinheads and frequented reggae or 'Blues beat' clubs like the Four Ace's in Dalston during his formative years. The Four Ace's, established in 1966, the Wikipedia entry for the Four Ace’s states that ‘in the 1960s and 1970s, the club was one of the first venues to play black music in the United Kingdom and was credited with playing a significant "role in the evolution of reggae into dance music, from ska, to rocksteady, to dub, to lovers, to dancehall and the evolution of jungle.’

The experiences my father had during that time left a lasting impact on his musical taste, which included artists like John Holt and Bob Marley, as well as Tamela Motown Records and sophisticated 70s soul. These musical preferences were shared by many East Londoners during that era.

A Confluence of Influences: Post-Punk and Reggae

When punk arrived, my father's generation might have been considered too old for that scene. However, it was during the emergence of the second wave of British reggae enthusiasts that something truly groundbreaking occurred. This generation not only embraced punk music but also incorporated elements of reggae and punk into their own music. These individuals were visionaries who played integral roles in the music industry and the post-punk scene. Artists such as Jerry Dammers and Terry Hall with The Specials, John Lydon and Jah Wobble with Public Image Limited, Pauline Black and The Selector, Neenah Cherry with Rip Rig & Painic, Adrian Sherwood, The Pop Group, The Clash, The Slits, and even Madness, played a vital role in the cultural fusion of post-punk and reggae.

The connection between post-punk and reggae in the British music scene is a testament to the remarkable diversity that emerged during this period. They took reggae as a starting point and created their own unique punk versions or experimented with unconventional, abstract variations of the genre. The intertwining of post-punk and reggae is an undeniable connection that can be viewed as a breeding ground for the unique British diversity that would resurface and continue in genres like jungle and dubstep These genres can be seen as natural progressions of the groundwork laid by the reggae-inspired post-punk musicians.

It is important to acknowledge the pioneers of reggae and those who stayed true to its traditional roots. Reggae itself deserves immense praise, but this piece focuses on the diverse sounds it has inspired. Reggae did not necessarily require diversification, but it played a pivotal role in encouraging white British individuals to embrace diversity and undergo transformative experiences. Reggae was everywhere while I was growing up in Hackney - resonating from tower blocks, playing at parties of friends with West Indian Caribbean backgrounds, and streaming from radios & stereos of guys I worked with. During my early teens, there was a Dancehall reggae boom, with half of my friends into ‘Dancehall Ragga’ and the other half into either rave or Heavy Metal music. It was just the way things were back then.

The East London Connection: Jah Wobble.

The biggest noteworthy figure from East London who played a pivotal role in this transformation is Jah Wobble. Born John Joseph Wardle of Stepney Green, the bass guitarist and singer known as the original bass player in Public Image Ltd (PiL) in the late 1970s. Jah Wobble perfectly embodies the open-minded and diverse music approach ingrained in certain types of East London residents. He went on to pioneer a plethora of diversity in his music.

The Influence of Post-Punkers on Rave

Among the post-punk artists, it was the industrial music musicians who wholeheartedly embraced change. Hackney resident Genesis P.Orridge of Throbbing Gristle made influential contributions to acid house with his project 'Jack the Tab,' just as Richard H Kirk of Cabaret Voltaire did in the Sheffield scene and early Warp Records. They were not interested in remaining loyal to a single genre but instead chose to move with the current and embrace whatever manifested at the time. Artists like Jah Wobble, along with many likeminded individuals, were already exploring the realms of reggae, hip hop, and electronic music. The combination of these factors sparked an optimistic and forward-thinking attitude towards music, and the post-punk era cultivated a remarkably imaginative and inventive environment during the vibrant decades of the 80s and 90s, which proved to be an optimal period for artistic exploration and groundbreaking innovation.

Mutation, diversity and open-mindedness towards music all idea’s that would find home and be carried forward in Rave. Other influences added to the cultural blend, including the energetic beats of hip hop, house, and techno. As a result, the British Reggae-Rave version of this music emerged. Some of it had an electrifying party energy that gleefully crank-up the insanity level, with an emphasis on multiculturalism much similar to the British Ska movement of the late 70s. Then some of it would be dissonant and otherworldly like a mix of techno and more abstracted post-punk like Public Image Ltd. This thrilling evolution proved to be revolutionary, setting the stage for Jungle, Drum & Bass & Dubstep. This emerging genre of dance music would serve as a platform for even more numerous young individuals, many of who had little music training or equipment, to engage with music. Enabling them to flourish, thrive and capture the spotlight, which, in my opinion, truly epitomises the essence of punk. This indomitable spirit, reminiscent of both British Punks and Jamaican rebels, continued to exert its influence within the rave generation, as a real rebel connection.

Furthermore, when artists from East London who had primarily focused on reggae music began experimenting with abstracted reggae elements and rave-inspired tempos, as exemplified by the likes of 'Shut Up & Dance' and their 'Hackney Hardcore' projects, the rapid development of Jungle music was greatly accelerated.

Since then, East London has consistently been at the forefront of underground dance movements, particularly during the ascent of rave music in the UK. This is not by chance, as at that time, East London's vibrant music scene provided the perfect nurturing ground for experimentation and creativity to flourish. This collective effort resulted in a vibrant underground dance movement that East London has continued to lead ever since.

Conclusion

The journey from post-punk to rave exemplifies music's ability to transcend boundaries and spark creativity. The experimentation and melting pot of ideas in the post-punk era have had a lasting influence on future generations. The contributions of reggae-inspired post-punk musicians will remain a source of pride and inspiration, serving as a constant reminder of the limitless possibilities in both music and life.

In conclusion, the most significant impact of rave was its ability to bring people together and overcome differences. Rave culture was about breaking down divisions and embracing unity. The transition from reggae to rave, jungle, garage, and dubstep is a testament to the coming together of people from different cultures within these shores creating genres that celebrate the cultural mix in music. The enduring legacy of East London's music history reminds us of the importance of unity and transcending differences. The influence of these artists and the love for dub and reggae music in East London continues to shape not only the UK music scene, but also that of the world.

Making Your Marketing Feel Like a Face-to-Face Conversation

Making Your Marketing Feel Like a Face-to-Face Conversation

In 1926, a great mind offered a vision that seemed pulled straight from a science fiction novel. A vision of instant, wireless communication around the globe—no wires, no waiting, just pure, seamless connection. This wasn't a futuristic dream trumped up by a fictional writer; it was a prediction by none other than Nikola Tesla. Known for his groundbreaking work in electricity and energy, Tesla had a knack for making people question the impossible. But imagine how wild that notion sounded back then.

Fast forward nearly a hundred years, and here we are: living Tesla's dream with phones, video calls, and messages that zip through the ether with lightning speed. What was once a fantasy has become our everyday reality. The ability to reach anyone, anywhere, instantly.

Think about this power in the context of marketing. Right now, the tools that were once the stuff of dreams are at everyone's fingertips. The potential for instant connection with audiences across the world should be every marketer’s delight. But here's the kicker—even with all this fantastic technology, without making people genuinely feel something, it all dissolves into digital statics.

Affiliate marketers, you're blessed with the gift of connection, but here’s the secret sauce: It's not about shouting louder or spraying and praying your content across every platform. True engagement happens when your message resonates personally, crafting a moment as intimate and connected as a face-to-face chat. This is where your efforts truly stand out.

Tesla didn't just predict connection; he envisioned a connection that felt as natural as a conversation with a friend. Every marketing tool, every platform is a chance to replicate that very idea. But how? The answer lies in the way you craft your message. Imagine writing that email or crafting that ad as if you're speaking to a friend over coffee. How would you break down barriers and remove formalities to create an authentic bond?

It starts with understanding the person on the other end—not as just another click or view, but as a person with wants, needs, fears, and desires. Tailoring your approach and speaking to their world can create a piece of content that's not just seen but truly felt. The best marketing invites users into a conversation and leaves them feeling valued and heard.

Embrace storytelling as the bridge that links the wires of words and the currents of emotion. People are wired—pun intended—to resonate with stories. Sharing your journey or describing how your product changed someone’s life creates a backdrop where users can see themselves and feel engaged.

Remember, when Tesla envisioned wireless communication, he wasn’t just thinking about the technology but the ultimate goal—connection. Apply this vision to your marketing strategy and focus on crafting messages that echo the essence of face-to-face interaction. It can be as simple as responding promptly, asking questions, and engaging in active listening, even beyond the chatbot or the email automation.

Right now, machines may enable us to connect instantly, but it's the emotional resonance that transforms this potential into reality. In the world of affiliate marketing, success doesn’t lie in filling inboxes or cluttering feeds; it lies in the meaningful connections—making that one person feel like your message was crafted just for them.

Nikola Tesla dared to imagine a world full of potential and connectivity. The world has delivered the capabilities—it falls to modern marketers to use them wisely. Craft messages that echo the warmth of personal interaction, and your marketing will truly stand out in this noisy era of information. Find the balance between technology and human touch, and let your message pull people in just like that long-ago imagined conversation under a wide sky, no wires in sight.
